Global 'warning' on global warming

What is global warming, and if it’s so dangerous then what is going to happen if we don’t help?

 


Firstly, Antarctica is melting rapidly due to constant rise in temperature. Don’t we want to keep one of the most beautiful climates of our planet? Animals across the icy planes are slowly becoming endangered due to the over-rise of heat. 

“I think it will be quite a bad thing because lots of the animals will die as well as people,” Elizabeth, aged 9 says. A lot of people agree, as there is a lot of arguing going on.

The rise in temperature is not just affecting the animals; it is affecting us as well. Alex Bolam says “Global Warming is affecting all of us, over the years we have had a dramatic rise in temperature- now is the time to take action.” 14,802 people were killed in France because of the heat wave in 2003. This was disastrous, and many people were left with torn hearts. People are saying that this was caused by Global warming too! This chart shows where the heat was.

Change of temperature in Europe from the average.

As many people will agree, this is horrendous. If this continues, then there may be a rise in insects: bloodsucking flees wasps and more! So, if we do something now, maybe we can preserve this world for the next generation?...
